Camoto is a collection of utilities for editing (modding) "classic" PC games - those running under MS-DOS from the 1980s and 1990s. This is libgamemusic, one component of the Camoto suite. libgamemusic is a library that can read and write many different music file formats, with a focus on formats used by DOS games. The library exposes each file format as a long list of "events", such as note-on, tempo change, pitch bend, and so on. This event list can then be manipulated if required, and then written out to a music file in the same or another format. An instrument list is also provided, which allows manipulation of each instrument used in the song. Current instrument types are General MIDI (patch numbers), OPL register values (used by Adlib songs) and sampled instruments (as used by mod/tracker formats.). A [JavaScript player] is also available that will play any supported file in a browser in real time on the client side.
